They'll pick first overall and the Flames will pick second and like with all their previous first overall picks, the player chosen second will be a future Stanley Cup champion.

Sam Gagner comes back, plays one game, and now has more points than ALL off the players combined on the season:

Deharnais
Ryan
Holloway
McLeod
Erne
Janmark
Brown

Basically their entire 3rd and 4th lines had a combined 0G, 1A in the first 9 games of the season.

Depth.

I know this will be sacrilege, but if you’re the Oil, do you consider trading McDavid / Draisatl?

Logic being, they obviously won’t re-sign with you, trading them now maximizes return with term left on their relatively inexpensive contracts. You aren’t winning with them, obviously, so may as well cash in?

This league is all about Championships.

If I'm the Oilers, I'm spending my 1st and 2nd round picks for this season and next season in an attempt to fix this thing.

I'm also firing the coach and going after a proven winner (Coach Q?).

You have to try and win with those guys. Once those guys leave, the Oilers will be starting from scratch.

A smart team would. The Oilers aren't that team.

They have to fire their coach quickly, this group goes through coaches fast.

As for trades, the cap hell they are in makes it nearly impossible for them and GMs will not play ball this early. Plus Holland sucks at his job.

They are probably going to miss the playoffs this year, the ramifications of that remain to be seen but I assume they will be quite profound.

Reunion time for Holland and Babcock?

Hide your phone, Evander. Babcock would fall asleep looking at McDavid's photos of grey things. Who knows what kind of kinky German stuff will be on Draisaitl's phone?

Draisaitl's phone is just full of lemon party pictures.

Can they give coaches weekly contracts? Then they could just cycle through a list of 5 or 6 coaches bi-weekly for that new coach bump. Bold strategy.

McDavid is 53rd in league scoring

zero chance he commits to the defensive end now...not to mention Drai who can sign a new contract in July

Oiler fan egos much be struggling big time with these guys not leading the league

"but they skated early!"

McDavid is tied for 151st in even strength points with 72 other players.

Can't see an extra commitment to defense coming from him.

Yes, but their cap issues are pretty insurmountable. The only way they are adding pieces is if they can find takers for Nurse and Campbell. Campbell costs them a 1st for sure, so they can't use it to acquire anyone.

Coach Q should be in place by Remembrance Day. I just hope the Oilers do not do it. He could turn around that team and make them a playoff team quite easily and then anything could happen.

An "undisclosed" injury at that.

The Oilers are probably trying to talk him into quitting and Katz will pay him his bonus under the table to avoid the cap hit next season.
